The bug can be circumvented by lowering the frequency of the processor from 1GHz or 900MHz to 800MHz. Megahertz are not important for enterprise level microprocessors, Intel has previously told us, so we suspect the lowering in clock speed is unimportant.
Because Intel has told the INQUIRER it will be at least a month before any notice of the erratumnotbug appears on its web site.
A representative explained that Intel has just told its OEMs - its manufacturing customers - about the problem.
The normal process is for a one month gap between telling its manufacturing customers and details of the bug being posted on the web site.
By which time, anyway, the Madison will be released. Although Intel didn't say that, we just know that's the case. Call us psychic or something. µ
